Online Screening

Offers students a year-round venue to explore and identify symptoms of eating disorders and to seek timely and appropriate help from their counseling and health services centers. The anonymous screenings provide immediate feedback and a customized referral directing students to the appropriate college resources. College/university personnel get detailed utilization reports and graphs. Available only in conjunction with an in-person screening event package.

In-person screening

In-person screening enables college/university health and counseling centers, professors, student groups and other student affairs professionals the opportunity to educate and screen students for anorexia nervosa, bulimia and binge eating disorder. Similar to the community program, most events are organized like a booth at a health fair with brochures, screening forms, and giveaway items available at a table. People are generally milling around asking questions, viewing the video, completing the screening questionnaire and getting general information. Banners, posters, balloons and food may be available to make the event more inviting. Colleges provide the clinicians and administrative staff, secure the physical location for the event, and promote and implement the program.

If you are interested in screening students at your college or university, email the NEDSP College Program.
